Meng Wen Young steps into the role of Associate Director of Marketing, having been promoted from Director of Sales and Catering. With an impressive track record in driving business and developing strategic partnerships, she will now focus on broadening the Hotel’s commercial initiatives and enhancing the brand identity in the market.
With more than two decades of experience in the field, Young’s expertise will be instrumental in crafting compelling narratives that showcase the unique experiences offered at Four Seasons Hotel Singapore, enhancing the Hotel’s position as the premier choice for leisure travellers and meeting and event planners alike.
Young’s passion in hospitality stems from her enjoyment in engaging with people and building connections, “I have always felt that human connection is simple yet intricately layered, and this interaction with individuals from all walks of life keeps me constantly intrigued. Market trends are constantly evolving so there is never a dull moment and you are always kept on your toes. This daily challenge keeps me driven and excited for what is to come,” she says.
Starting out her career as a catering sales manager in 2004, Young subsequently built on her expertise, which led her to various catering and event management roles in other luxury hotels before she joined Four Seasons Hotel Singapore in 2008. From then, she pivoted into higher management positions before her most recent three-year tenure as the Hotel’s Director of Sales and Catering.
“It has been a journey but a much fulfilling one. I liken the Sales and Marketing division to an orchestra, where the team coordinates the efforts of different departments to create a symphony of exceptional experiences that will leave a lasting impression. As the ‘Orchestra Conductor,’ I value this camaraderie and teamwork as without it, the magic will not happen.”
Both leaders have been instrumental in the Hotel’s success, navigating through challenges and shaping the Hotel’s marketing strategies to drive business growth. Their promotions reflect the Hotel’s commitment to cultivating talent and excellence within its ranks.
“We are delighted to recognise the achievements of Shengwen and Meng Wen,” says Peter Draminsky, Regional Vice President and General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Singapore. “Their dedication and leadership have significantly contributed to our success, and we are confident that their new roles will further elevate our guest experience and solidify our reputation as a leader in luxury hospitality.”
